Yep there will be no escape I can see him now Picture the scene its Been pissing down all night, and monkey attempts to get up and dressed in a dignified manner he has his paddington bear pyjamas and fluffy slippers on. he tries to stand but fall on the front of the tent, the zip bursts open and flat out into the mud he goes Edward is equally plastered. A loud scream is heard across the county.  Synchronise your flash guns and shutter settings now, Mr Yoda... |

Shepton's only an hour & a half's run from here, (except it's a Bank Holiday weekend so probably 3 1/2 hours), so I'll nip down both days & be home again in time for tea, but if it were further I'd book into a little B & B somewhere or a TravelInn. Can't understand why anyone would willingly sit in a muddy field all weekend when you can have a nice comfy bed, a hot shower & a big fried breakfast.

Yodie's already visited Manky Mansions. His tent is probably bigger than my flat.

Nothing stopping you having a nice comfy bed in a nice big tent, I have a very comfy bed when we travel with the big tent. Hot showers and fried breakfast both available at Shepton. Can't understand why anyone would want to stay at home when they've got the opportunity to go away for the weekend! Tell you what, you turn in to work for me, and I'll go to the show! |

I like my little home! Love doing shows but hate roughing it. Never pretended to be a ruffty tuffty biker. As committed to biking as anyone else & done my fair share of foul weather riding & laying comatose in fields full of sheep poo, but realised it's not compulsory!  |

Aah, the joys of camping! Yeah, it's left me mentally scarred for life. Was that the trip where we camped next to a graveyard & were woken in the night by the sounds of movement & heavy breathing outside the tents, only to discover in the light of day we'd camped in the middle of a herd of cows? Or the one when we asked the locals in the pub where we could camp & woke up the next morning in the middle of the village football pitch? Yes, I love camping.

The very first time I camped (apart from in my bivvy in the garden when I was a kid) was on Dartmoor in a big thunderstorm in a tent that turned out not to be waterproof!
If that didn't put me off, nothing will!

I've never owned a tent that was waterproof.

Why am I not surprised?
No wonder you don't camp!

This Shepton Mallet thingy sounds like fun - not been before. I'll mention it to Jacko, see if he fancies coming with me.
How much are the pokey sticks, to poke fun at the monkeys?

I'm sure Wizzy will happily lend you her pointy stick Janie!
Bring lots of cake with you.
We're not going all corporate. Not a trade stand, just us & a bunch of half built trikes, but we thought it'd be a laugh. Lunatic will be there too with his Dad's VW trike, (see "Phsyco Triko" in the Motors bit), so he & Jacko will be able to compare notes. I reckon the show's a good afternoon's worth. About 80 or 90 miles from your place straight down the M3/A303. Plenty of outdoor trade stalls plus an autojumble, as well as the show halls. For the last couple of years the trikes have had a hall to themselves while custom & classic bikes are in the main hall. Bar & restaurant, live music etc.
Weekend camping too if you want it -I'm told some people actually enjoy that sort of thing.
